pillowy star

Those pictures and the setlist and all the posts made me squeak with joy for all you lucky people! Awesome night that must have been.

*Disclaimer: This isn't - and can't be - my final judgement yet, as I've just listened to it 4 times so far* Awesome. Bloody gorgeous. I stick to every single word I said after having heard the first songs off it live about 1,5 years ago: "This album might be the best Wilco have ever released."

Nick Cave is my favorite artist for quite a while now. Whilst I prefer his mellow stuff, I also appreciate the rockers & the more raw tunes. Not too much into Grinderman yet, but those 4 guys played the best live show I have ever seen by anyone, so that is that.

All general admission If you go here to Eventim, you will be able to purchase tickets even as a forgeigner. I buy all my tickets with them, and I've never had a problem. If there is any problem, let me know, and I will gladly help you out

We bought tickets for Cologne, Berlin and Hamburg (not that I'd know if I can get off work yet ) Paul ?

"Either Way" and "YAMF" are fantastic, I could listen to them on repeat whilst staring into candles burning down. Very very good songs. First listen to "Walken", my comment was "I am disappointed, it sounded so much better live". Then I listened to it on headphones. WHOA.

Impossible Shepherd's Bush is quite a nice venue, old theatre. Saw Jeff solo there in 2005 (God is it really that long since I got me some Wilco ?!?) and found the acoustic to be really good as well. The Live Music Hall in Cologne (where I saw Wilco in 2005....again....*rant* ) is a nightmare. The surroundings are horrible, so all you can do is basically get to the venue and get outta there as quickly as possible and back in to the wonderful city of Cologne At least it is really small (probably 800-1000 people). The Paradiso in Amsterdam I have never seen myself, but heard fairytale

I will probably only be able to make it to Cologne, maybe Berlin, but for Cologne, this offer stands. What did you think ? We already go away from 26th to 28th due to our anniversary, so this again comes to a bad timing, but Cologne yes, that is a given. Will let you know asap if we can make it elsewhere! Edit: I am gonna wait until my boss comes back from Mallorca at the end of next week where I sent him for 8 appointments, and if they were any successful, I am gonna sit on his lap (not literally ) and ask him for 24th & 25th off

Some day, some morning/night, some time, some European MUST be the "Old World Living Room Show Pioneer" (either over here or over there ), and I am certainly hoping that it'll be me/us Have a wonderful time, everyone We'll be there in spirit

*sigh* Have fun guys

Oh I am so totally sure that Gwen would love to come around and buy some Dutch liquorice! Belgian ice-cream and chocolate isn't too bad either Road-trip through the Lower Countries sounds complete fun

.......which makes me hope even more now Jeff, if you're reading this: Paul so needs to do some serious sightseeing in Cologne with a personal tourist guide

One can always hope for some German dates

Happy Birthday, Heidi. Have a great year ahead, hope to see you someday again

Happy Birthday

Rosie : How're ya doing ?

Happy birthday

A very happy birthday to you

Have a very happy day

Happy Birthday Kristina! I hope to see you one day again

Happy Birthday Robert!! Have some Basil ice-cream on your special day

Didn't this hideous whiny Martin say only about a year ago that he would take a long break, and press basically made out of it that Coldplay were through ? Seems I celebrated too early, as usual.

To Donna: Hope you'll enjoy the little surprise that is gonna hit you doorstep : To M. Chris: Have a great wonderful awesome day

Seen it a few months ago in the UK, and also thought it was brilliant. Michael Caine was outstanding as usual.
